About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric, Ellice Ocean has a richly worked surface rather than a regular printed repeat. Fine pale blue-grey striations break through the darker ground, creating the impression of worn, brushed layers across the cloth. The cool, low-saturation tone gives the colourway a grounded, atmospheric character, while the irregular texture keeps it visually dimensional. The visible mid-weight appearance makes it suitable to consider for both upholstery and drapery.

How to use it

Pair this cool ocean blue-grey with charcoal, weathered timber and soft grey upholstery for a moody scheme, or use it against warm ivory to bring out the lighter marks in its distressed surface.

Use its cool, weathered blue-grey surface to add depth to tailored seating, cushions or softly falling curtains.

Pairs well with

Ellice Ocean is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
